Abstract

Salinity is a significant abiotic stress factor in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Salinity alters the mineral concentration and its distribution in various plant parts. Due to this ion homeostasis get disrupted and result in poor seedling growth in wheat. Present work is to find the possibility of exogenous application of potassium (K⁺), gibberellic acid (GA₃) and cytokinin (CK) treatment alone or in combination to alleviate the salinity induced change in mineral ion concentration at various salinity levels (NaCl salinity) in wheat seedlings. It was observed that there is accumulation of chloride (Cl⁻) in radicle and coleoptile, while the level of nitrate ((NO₃⁻), phosphate (PO₄³⁻) and sulphate (SO₄²⁻) reduced dramatically. All the treatments (alone or in combination) given to seeds improved the mineral ion concentration. Treatment K⁺ + GA₃ + CK was found the best treatment or most successful treatment in restoring mineral level in seedlings of wheat. It indicates that ion uptake, re-establishment of nutrient transport and reduction in chloride toxicity is a complex function. Integrated treatment of nutrients and hormones enhanced wheat’s ion homeostasis and salt tolerance for crop productivity in alkaline soils.
